What's A Parasite?

The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta says that the average American has about 3 pounds of parasites living in their body.

I believe the single most undiagnosed health challenge in the history of the human race is parasites.

The signs of parasites in the human body: itchy ears, nose, anus, forgetfulness, slow reflexes, gas bloating, loss of appetite, fast heartbeat, eat more than normal, still feel hungry, lethargy, numb hands and dry lips during the day.

A parasite is an organism that lives off the host, the host being you or me. The parasite lives a parallel life inside our bodies, feeding off either our own energy, our own cells or the food we eat, or even feeding off the health supplements we use.

A parasite eats, lays eggs and secretes. Some parasites love sugar, for instance. If you are a person who craves sugar, you may have a sugar loving parasite. In fact, parasites are known to be one of the causes of diabetic tendencies and blood sugar discrepancies. They exist mainly in the digestive tract, but can be found in the liver, as well as throughout the body.

As if it wasn’t bad enough to have an uninvited guest living in your body, the parasites eat your nutrients before you do! They get the best nutrients, and you get the scraps and leftovers. They grow healthy and fat, yet your organs and skin starve for nutrition. What’s more, parasites can remain in your body for 10, 20, or even 30 years.

How Do We Get Parasites?

Here is a list of ways parasites can get into your body: shaking hands, sharing someone else’s soda can, kissing (even on the cheek), intimate sexual contact, and believe it or not, you can get parasites by inhaling dust which contains the dried form of these organisms. You can get parasites from eating meat. Another source of parasites is salads.

Married couples tend to have them together, and if one person is treated for the parasitic infection, they are often re-infected by their spouse. It is extremely important that both be treated at the same time, and in many cases, the children should be treated along with their parents.
